1. The Size/Design - The size is definitely compact. So little you'll be able to put it inside your pants pocket similar to a cellphone and bring it on you wherever you go and not have to possess some type of case to hold it in. Effortless! The structure is made to be very simple as well. See "ease of use"

2. The Ease of Use - It is easy to tell that the Flip manufacturers intended the hd camera to be simple to use. All the buttons are on a single side that are blatantly obvious and blatantly understandable for even a five year old child. There is a large red record button, focus buttons, play button, and delete button. What exactly do they do? You can figure that out for sure and that proves the point.

3. The Battery pack Life and Back-up - To start with, the camcorder has internal battery life of about two hours if you ever were to keep it on continuously, still in case that isn't enough, it's got a backup battery slot where you can put triple A batteries. So this should be plenty enough battery power period and leaves really very little excuse for the frequent as well as not so constant consumer.

4. The Hard Drive - Various Flip video cameras have different hard disk space, however the newest one has 8gb of space. To help make that simpler to understand, it will store around 2 hours of HD Video. That is pretty dang good if you consider how big HD video files can be.

5. The 60 FPS and Image Stabilization - Simply put, makes your video clips appear amazing. Why? Many camcorders are made with 30 FPS (Frames Per Second) which generally means that the video camera may appear to lag/get behind when recording. FPS is actually how quickly the camera can process what it sees. Include that along with Image Stabilization and you are good to go! Image Stabilization makes up for shaky hands/steadiness. It basically helps repair shaky video produced by abrupt hand motions.

6. The HD 720p quality - Yes! It truly is HD quality. Do not purchase a camcorder nowadays without it being HD. If you do, you are buying poor looking video more or less. You may also plug it straight into a HIGH DEFINITION TV with the HDMI port the Flip Camera has.

7. The USB Arm - Another convenient thing the manufacturers did to make all our lives simpler. No more USB cords to keep up with since the Flip Camera provides its very own USB Arm that you can just flip out and plug straight into any USB port on any computer or laptop computer. You, of course, do this to transfer your videos to PC/Laptop to edit with the Flipshare software.

8. The Flipshare Software - The included software that you use to edit video on your computer. It is yet again super easy to use so that you can quickly save as well as upload them to youtube and so on. if you like.

9. The Child Safe Feature - This is fantastic if you have little ones picking up items and tinkering with whatever like I do. It's got a child lock feature which means your video clips can not unexpectedly get erased

10. The Silent Mode Feature - This is excellent if you're needing to record in some location in which you need to be quiet. Somewhat like your cell phone features a silent option. Nicely, the Flip Camera provides the same thing.

Now, are all these 10 things the best from 1 to 10 or vice versa? No. These are just the 10 best things about the flip camera period. Though, probably the most favorite overall thing I really like about it is that it is both simple and powerful making it suitable for just about all customers including myself.
